As a blogger you’re always looking for the latest trends. And that means – not only fashion trends! As you know I’m a big big coffee lover and lately there’s a coffee trend out there, which you may already heard about: the flat white! But like other trends, it can get a bit confusing at times. How do I make one correctly and with what ingredients? How much milk foam and how much espresso? Shoutout to Nescafé Dolce Gusto for the perfect solution – a flat white in only one capsule.

Midsummer in Germany – outside it’s way too hot, the air conditioning (if it’s even there) is buzzing, and stress levels are increasing! Exam time and deadlines make me sweat next to the unbearable heat – and that is neither comfortable nor beautiful and smelling good. Honestly, I am also one of the guys who are just so nervous at presentations or important events, that they start sweating easily. Cool is really something else! As if the whole thing was not uncomfortable enough, the sweat and co. can ruin the expensive shirts and designer clothes. Hello (sweat) stains! This doesn’t ruin my well-being…

Deadlines, events and co. – in the summer there is always lots of work! Not onlyare in July and August all of my university deadlines pending, there are tons of events and there is so much blogger work to do. In addition, I am always planning for my longer trips to New York City, and so everything is somehow in the short period of summer. Most of the time things get a bit quieter here, since most of the work takes place in the background, but it’s still stressful – believe it or not! But I can not complain …

I have already written about my origin in the blog post “Small Town Boy x Urban Classics” in the context of fashion. Since my long (and repeated) stay in New York City has changed a lot and is still influecing me and my way of thiking about style and fashion, I’d like to showyou in this post in cooperation with Urban Classics an updated version of the old blog post – my style, which was heavily influenced by the casualness of big cities.

That’s a Japanese saying. It means: try new things and do them now since time’s flying! What are you waiting for? Get to know foreign cultures, new cuisine and exotic countries. Or — like me — the new whisky of the Japanese traditional house Suntory, which not only combines everything mentioned before, but even refers to the topic time, since Toki, the name of the new whisky, is Japanese for the word time. Recently, the new Suntory Whisky Toki was introduced to a selected group of journalists and bloggers in one of Munich’s finest restaurants called Koi.
